    A covalent bond is formed between H and Br

    The structure of HBr is as follows

    H - Br

    Formal charge for atoms are the charges for individual atoms in compounds.

    Formal charge can be calculated as follows;

    Formal charge of atom = number of valence electrons - (number of bonds + number of lone pair electrons)

    H has 1 valence electron, 1 bond and 0 number of lone pair electrons

    Formal charge of H = 1 - 1 - 0 = 0

    H has 0 charge
